Here is a map from Google. It's a little blurry, but you can see the townhouses and part of the golf course. It must be an older photo because some of the roofs still have blue tarps from Hurricane Wilma.
Anyway, we outlined a red path from our townhouse around the corner and down Gatehouse Road, and then back. This is a path he often takes with Mom or Dogdad, so he knew it. When he got to the stop sign at the next corner, though, after chasing the UPS truck, he told me he knew he was exhausted and had better turn around for home.
Mom said this must have been a new UPS driver because the one who usually delivers our packages knows better than to knock at the door and would never have driven away seeing one of us guys loose on the street.

Oh boy, that is terrible! A real scare!!
What was Just Harry going to do with that UPS truck if he caugt it? There probably aren't any bones in there.
Maybe he is waiting for a package. Does he order things online when everybody's in bed, or over the phone when nobody's home? This might need some looking into.

Are you still going to the pawty, or are you grounded FOR LIFE! J1's previous dog Watson once ran away from the dog sitter's house and gatecrashed a dinner pawty, ate a ton of catfood and waited patiently to be found. I think J1 aged about 20 years that night. J x
Did that UPS man have a bone cookie on his truck? That could have been the reason! Ours does carry them! It wasn't worth it JH! Your mom will buy you all you want, trust me!
I hope we see you at the pawty!
Love ya lots,
Maggie
JH, you can't scare everyone so much. Essex did something similar several years ago. She scared Dad something fierce. Pawlese don't do that again.
Oh that's so scary! My ma ape would have had a heart attack! Hope everyone is ok, safe and secure at home for a LOOOOONG time! But I do understand wanting to give the UPS man the what for. I always give him a good talking to when he shows up, though my ma ape says he only brings GOOD STUFF. Still...
wally.
wow.. JH, I was holding my breath as I read this post. I am glad that you are unhurt. Please dun do that again.
Luv,
Snowball
Mannaggia! (I really don't know how translate that for you, but know that my mom says this way when she's really disappointed)

Well, now we know he is paying attention on walkies, and thank dogness for that. Last time Teka went walkabout, she was gone overnight and it wasn't until early afternoon that the man who found her called E.Beth. Guess he figured out she wasn't a keeper, but I know that JH is such a cute and darling wire that someone might be tempted to keep him!
Glad you guys got to go to the party. I'd have been Ground-ed-ed!
Again, I am just so glad Just Harry is a smart boy and came right back home.

Back in my younger days, I would take the occasional tour of the neighborhood, too, but I soon learned I had a pretty good deal at home with my moms. Glad you figured that out quickly, JH, and that you made it home safe. Good to have met you and Jake. Hope to see you in cyberspace again soon!
Oh Man, JH...that is soooooooo cool. Mumsie's last WFT chased a mean, very mean UPS guy. Sarge jumped in the truck with him and mean UPS guy KNEW he was there and started to drive off. Mumsie was screaming to make him let her grab old Sarge. She finally stood square in front of the truck and would move till he had surrended the wiry hostage. She's much older now because of it...
Thankful barks,

PEE ESS How did you not get grounded????????
What a scary adventure! My heart's still pounding.

Sounds like your regular UPS driver is a great guy (and former dog catcher???)!
Just what IS Just Harry's interest in the PUS truck? I'd like to know.
Goober love,
Stanley
